In order to format the media you would need to insert it in a computer then right and right click on the drive and choose format. Doing this puts your computer at risk for being infected. Something else you could try is if you have a digital camera that uses the same type of media card would be it put it in there and format the card. You could also you a program to shred the information on the media card but that might be overkill. I would just format it a few times and un-check quick format so the files are overwritten.

Yes, that is what I want to avoid puts my risk for for being infected
The tool wipes from FreeDOS is a CD that boot before enter Windows and detects all the Medias and wipes them, could it be another solution? or it could be damage the media?
I have a digital Camera, but I do not if I can infect the bios or the files (picts, movies) that I have stored in the camera's memory, the camera is for professionals, I am not a professional LOL
